Guest Don C Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I'm not sure exactly what this is going to mean to the software development industry in the world as a whole, but according to IT profeesionals in New Zealand, software patents will be unenforceable. However, I think that there will still be some amount of copyright protection.
